In anticipation of this new reduced limit, the company already has used some of the proceeds from the two March hotel sales to pay down the current line of credit to the $4.0 million level.

-- Development program update--The company revamped its

development program, enhancing and expanding its development

team with the hiring of three experienced industry veterans.

The company began construction on one hotel and opened four

hotels during 2003.

"Steve Miller and his team came on board in the second half of 2003 and have conducted a thorough review of development opportunities in certain regions of the country. Based on their research, we will first focus our future development in markets where we have a proven track record, California California (kăl'ĭfôr`nyə), most populous state in the United States, located in the Far West; bordered by Oregon (N), Nevada and, across the Colorado River, Arizona (E), Mexico (S), and the Pacific Ocean (W).  and the Midwest Midwest or Middle West, region of the United States centered on the western Great Lakes and the upper-middle Mississippi valley. It is a somewhat imprecise term that has been applied to the northern section of the land between the Appalachians . We also have identified certain areas in the Southeastern U.S. where we might possibly expand the AmeriHost Inn brand. We expect to break ground on at least one property in the Midwest during the second quarter, using our 80- to 90-room design, which was created for larger markets."

"Most of the development, which will be the updated design in larger markets, is expected to be in joint ventures or building for third parties, and our outreach Outreach is an effort by an organization or group to connect its ideas or practices to the efforts of other organizations, groups, specific audiences or the general public.  efforts to these parties is scaling up," Herman pointed out.

-- Lease restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  update--The company also announced

February 26, 2004 that it, on behalf of a wholly-owned

subsidiary, was attempting to restructure the terms of 21

long-term leases on AmeriHost Inn hotels with its hotel

announced on March 16, 2004 that the parties entered into a

temporary letter agreement that expires on April 30, 2004 and

provides that base rent will continue to accrue To increase; to augment; to come to by way of increase; to be added as an increase, profit, or damage. Acquired; falling due; made or executed; matured; occurred; received; vested; was created; was incurred.  at the rate of

approximately $445,000 per month, as set forth in the lease

agreements. However, the base rent payments due and payable on

March 1, 2004 and April 1, 2004 were reduced to approximately

$360,000 per month. Additionally, the company's subsidiary was

allowed to utilize $200,000 of its security deposit held with

PMC to help fund these payments.

When the temporary letter agreement expires on April 30, 2004, the company's deferred portion of the base rent (approximately $170,000) will be due, and the security deposit must be restored by $200,000 to its March 12, 2004 balance. The temporary agreement also provided for the gathering and sharing of certain information regarding a possible restructuring of the lease.

"Resolving this issue is a top priority for us," said Herman. "We currently are in a fact-exchanging stage and expect to move into further negotiations. Of course, there can be no assurance of the outcome of such negotiations and our efforts for a mutually beneficial Adj. 1. mutually beneficial - mutually dependent

-- Strengthened the balance sheet--During the year, the company

used the proceeds from the sale of 10 hotels to reduce the

company's long-term mortgage debt by $16.5 million. As of

December 31, 2003, the company's total mortgage debt and line

of credit balance was $69.7 million, or 15.7 percent lower

than the December 31, 2002 total balance of $82.6 million. The

company expects to continue reducing its long-term mortgage

debt through Operation Sell.

-- Enhanced Cendant fees--"During the year, the AmeriHost Inn

brand broke through the 100-property barrier, a significant

milestone," Herman noted. The brand ended the year with 103

hotels, including opening the first property in Canada. The

number of AmeriHost Inns franchised by companies other than

Arlington increased to 46 properties in 2003, up from 10

hotels at the end of 2000. As a result, Arlington's incentive

and royalty sharing fees rose 38 percent to $278,000 in the

2003 fourth quarter and improved 65 percent to $972,000 for

the year, compared to the same 2002 periods.

Common Stock Update

In the 2003 fourth quarter, the company completed a 1-for-100 reverse stock split, which immediately was followed by a 100-for-1 forward split.
